This comment is like bitchig and moaning about cars, saying they're useless because they can't teleport you.
If VR had some kind of application beyond games the form factor would be less of a problem. But if cars were cumbersome and expensive and only drove to casinos they wouldn't be useful either.
See, you failed right there. I'll let you ponder the following fact. Most companies that hire VR devs right now are not in the gaming business.
Game consoles have no applications beyond games and they are expensive. People still buy them.
